Can This Bourbon Daisy Recipe Be Scaled?

Absolutely depending on how many drinks you want to make or how big your glasses are you can scale this recipe up or down to suit your needs. you may need a larger drink shaker if you want to make more than one glass worth at a time or else you might be shaking for a while.

Does the Type of Bourbon Matter?

I used what I already have on hand and so can you. This drink recipe is all about changing up the flavors in the glass so that the bourbon is nice and palatable, so don’t worry about using high-quality bourbons as the flavor will be well hidden being the citrus flavors in the cocktail.

What Can I Use Instead of Grenadine Syrup?
